Leeds face Leicester City today almost a year to the day they played last season. Last season’s game was very poor and Leeds lost 2-0. Incidentally Leeds also played Leicester this time five years ago when Rio Ferdinand made his debut. They lost that one too.
This time around Leeds have been doing well of late, three wins in a row, the first time in almost three years. Should they win today it’ll be the first time Leeds have won four games back-to-back since April 2001.
While I really hope Leeds win today I do have a bad feeling about this game. Hoping I’m wrong but I can see a draw or even a Leicester win today. Because of this I have stuck £11 on a Leicester win or draw.
This really is a win-win situation. Should Leeds get a poor result today Mr. Ladbrokes will console me a little by giving me £21. Should Leeds win I won’t care about the lost tenner, 3 points for Leeds always feel brilliant. Of course I would prefer the latter, always love to see a Leeds victory.
Good luck today Leeds, lets make it four in a row (and cost me a tenner).
Came across a novelty Christmas record today, Is This The Way To Santa’s Grotto. This is unsurprisingly a parody of Tony Christie’s Amarillo song which was a big hit earlier in the year.
The song performed by Santa himself is extremely cheesy, festive and sure to annoy everyone after a couple of plays. I am sure it is already being piped out repeatedly by department stores across the country throughout their long festive opening hours. It is only a matter of time before the staff at BHS hang themselves in the lift shaft with tinsel.
I have downloaded the track from Napster and am only keeping it on my PC to be mean and annoy anyone who comes round by playing it on loop to them.
Here’s a quick sample of the tune, it is available to buy over the net as a WMA, alternatively you can purchase the single. There is also an album out called “Santa Sings” although if you spend good money on this you need therapy.
Anyone who hears this track and needs bringing back to normality should visit their local record store along with a prescription for “The Pogues – Fairytale of New York”.
Well it is now 1st December so like last year I have given my blog a festive theme. Bit more flashing lights and snowflakes this time around, some may say this page looks cheap and tacky but isn’t this what modern day Christmas is, a commercialised money spinner? I think people have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas… still I’ve still asked for a £180 Sony NWA3000 Walkman :o)
I keep hearing Eminem’s new single When I’m Gone on the radio. My God this guy has some unresolved problems. He is still going on and on about his ex-wife (get over it mate) and daughter Hailie. Here is a verse from his latest piece of work
I keep having this dream, I’m pushin’ Hailie on the swing
She keeps screaming, she don’t want me to sing
“You’re making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?”
Baby, Daddy ain’t leaving no more, “Daddy you’re lying
“You always say that, you always say this is the last time
“But you ain’t leaving no more, Daddy you’re mine”
Back in the days of The Marshall Mathers LP I was a big Eminem fan. I still love tracks like Stan, The Way I Am and I’m Back. Since then he has gone downhill in my opinion and should turn to music production. I am sure even the most die hard Eminem fans are fed up with hearing what a bitch Kim is and how much he loves his baby Hailie who must be about 10 by now.
So, Marshall, Eminem, Mr. Slim Shady, whatever you’re calling yourself nowadays, get yourself a girlfriend, get over Kim and be prepared for Hailie’s teenage years, she won’t be so pleasant to you then I can tell you!
Finally onto football. Liverpool and England “striker” Peter Crouch. This strangely highly rated striker has played 18 games or 24 hours for The Reds. He has scored 0 goals. He has missed a penalty and played against some of the poorest defences in the league – Sunderland, Birmingham City and Portsmouth as well as lower league Crystal Palace.
It has now become a running joke in the media and with most football fans about when Crouch will get his first goal. Even though I am not a Liverpool fan or even have a team in The Premiership I am still eagerly watching Liverpool’s results and having a laugh when I see Crouch omitted from the scorers.
You have to feel sorry for the lad though, he tries so hard but simply cannot put the ball in the back of the net. I wonder how long the fans will stay behind him before eventually realising he really is a football failure like Michael Ricketts and James Beattie. On the other hand he may score at the weekend and go on to get more goals than Theirry Henry…. HaHaHaHaHa!
